This is a 1970 Malibu that originally had a small block engine from the factory. I have 2 factory build sheets that go with the car. I planned to make a fun driver out of it so I could having something to enjoy while doing my frame off restorations but I ended up getting a 1970 Firebird driver and I don't have a need to keep them both. This is a project that was started by the previous owner in 2003 when he bought it out of Tennessee and did the motor build. He did the break in on the motor but he never finished the build and got it on the road.

If I keep the car I am going to replace the painless wiring with American Autowire, Replace the quarters with full quarters (has skins on it now) and do a 1 piece trunk pan.The car has a partial trunk pan in it now but they didn't completely remove the old one so for a show car I would do the trunk(it's solid and rust free just not factory looking).

It has a factory flat hood with a fiberglass cowl hood on it in the pictures, It comes with a brand new Dyncacorn steel cowl hood as well. If you have any questions about the car or need more pictures send me a message and I will be more than happy to give you the information you request. Car has clear Ohio title in my name.

PC Automotive(Oberlin, OH) built 454 with forged crank and KB pistons redone from the heads down to the Milidon high capacity pan. Comp Hi-Engergy Cam lifters and springs, New starter, alternator, billet brackets and pulleys, billet air cleaner and valve covers, HEI, Taylor performance wires, March pulleys. New Edelbrock 750 with electric choke Pretty much everything on the motor is brand new aside from the gm block and heads. Edelbrock rebuildable fuel pump. Engine shop build sheet/Full build specs available

New TCI TH400 transmission with brand new converter and flywheel. Stainless trans cooler lines. Hurst ratchet shifter.

I pulled the radiator and sent it to a shop to get cleaned and pressure checked. It's perfect. I also flushed the cooling system due to the car sitting, I don't take chances. I also installed a brand new gas tank, flushed the lines and installed a new Edelbrock Carb and new fuel filter. With a brand new engine I don't want to risk putting bad gas through it.

Professionally Rebuilt 12 bolt posi with new eaton posi, new 3.55:1 gears and new superior forged axles. Rear drums have been serviced with new spring kit and wheel cylinders Front Disk brake kit with power booster/master. Looks like a high quality kit (maybe SS brakes or Powermaster brakes) Frame is rock solid with all energy suspension poly bushings. paint is faded and isn't show quality but it's not all rusty either. New Hotchkiss rear trailing links and brace. Over sized sway bars front and rear. New tie rods, ball joints, idler arm. Power steering.

Painless wiring harness is installed but needs cleaned up and wires shortened.

New Flowmaster mandrel bent exhaust with H pipe

Fenders, inner fenders, radiator support, doors, rockers, roof, window channels all look excellent Stainless Trim needs polished and some of the pieces have dents.

Interior needs dash pad top and dash wiring cleaned up. Has a very nice original rear seat, new Scat Procar seats up front. New door panels and interior quarter panels. headliner is new but needs stretched and re-glued. Carpet is new. All the fluids have been replaced with new fluids - Brake, antifreeze, power steering

The car has been sitting for about a month so the battery needs charged and it needs gas but the car does start, run and drive but will need to be trailered because the brakes are soft, it needs a front end alignment due to all the steering components being new and the engine will need some minor tuning(idles great!) since it is a new motor with less than a mile of driving around the industrial parkway. It also is leaking oil from the back of the engine, so that will need to be fixed. It is a a great winter project that you can either put a little bit of time into this winter and have a fun reliable car to cruise next spring or go all out and do a trunk panel, quarters and full paint job. The car is a solid car and I took pictures from every angle I can think of. If you have any questions or need additional pictures I am more than willing to do what I can.

Chevy Bolt wins 2017 Green Car of the Year

Thu, Nov 17 2016

We knew that a plug-in vehicle was going to win the 2017 Green Car of the Year award this year, given that all five finalists have a way to charge up. And when Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, announced the winner – the 2017 Chevy Bolt EV – he said that the car itself represents one of those times in the auto industry when everything is about to change. Similar to the invention of the starter motor, things are about to get different. For now, though, the fact that the Bolt EV won an award sounds like the same old thing all over again. Just this week, it was named Motor Trends Car of the Year and to the Car And Driver Top 10 list. The other four finalists for Green Car of the Year included the Toyota Prius Prime, the Chrysler Pacifica, the Kia Optima (including hybrid and plug-in hybrid models) and the BMW 330e iPerformance. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt. Did Green Car Journal make the right selection this year? See the award ceremony below.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber

Thu, Dec 7 2017

It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.
